We /I am looking forward to our getting full use down there at 137 and perhaps at 160 also, from what I have seen your antenna plans will be small but should work. I saw the note on here that U need a -30 DB gain antenna before things began to work Hi. I believe that I have seen sizes like yours that will work, I would check with others on using a ferrite for a loading coil, I believe The coil needs to have as little loss as possible. I dont have the RSGB LF book but will be getting one at the York Pa. Springfest in 2 weeks. To me a loading coil needs to have as high a Q as U can provide, But I have no experience Yet and advice is cheap. 73s Bob K3DJC ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
